Automated Analog Circuit Modeling
C++, Python, MATLAB, and XML
17:40 - 18:00 UTC | Friday 1st November 2024 | ADCx Gather
As a software developer, are you interested in creating audio tools involving analog circuit modeling? If so, the "Point To Point Library" from Hack Audio makes it easier than ever to prototype and create real-time signal processing algorithms for your software. The library comes with over 100 circuit examples for you to use, which can also be easily customized by modifying individual circuit components. Or, start from scratch and create your very own DSP models based on schematics using the library's automated circuit solver. Prototype your implementations in either Python or MATLAB to analyze common processing measurements. Then, create real-time C++ effects using example JUCE projects. Additionally, simple XML scripts can be loaded to test circuit implementations in the "Analog Circuit Factory" plug-in available for Mac and Windows in AAX, VST3, and AU formats.
Eric Tarr is the owner of Hack Audio and an Associate Professor of Audio Engineering Technology at Belmont University. He received a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. from the Ohio State University in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received a B.A. in Mathematics with a minor in Music from Capital University. He is the author of a textbook published by the Audio Engineering Society and Focal Press titled, “Hack Audio: An Introduction to Computer Programming and Digital Signal Processing in MATLAB.” His interests in audio engineering include acoustic and electronic system modeling, signal processing for auditory prostheses, and audio plug-in software development. He has created software for many companies including Apogee, Gibson/KRK Loudspeakers, Sennheiser, Empirical Labs, Skywalker Sound, L.R. Baggs, KIT Plugins, Mixwave, and Impact Soundworks. He has received research grants from the Tennessee Entertainment Commission, Epic Games, AFWERX , and was the recipient of the Gibson Foundation Les Paul Music Innovation Award. He has served as an Expert Litigation Consultant on lawsuits involving audio and software development.
